The Oh So Ombre Hair Hobby Event is back from 16th February! To get all 32 hairstyles for adult sims you need to complete the fashion designer hobby collection 8 times in the 7 day time limit. You get 1 hairstyle in 4 colours each time you complete the collection (find all 12 fashion pieces), once you unlock a hairstyle you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all.
You need to buy a fashion studio from the promotions r us store to complete this hobby
You need to firstly accept this event, it will remove the fashion designs you have already created from the collection so you don’t get a head start.
If you say no you can start it from the active tasks tab, you will not get any extra time if you start this late.
If you already have a sim as a level 6 fashion designer (or previous have) then you will complete this a lot quicker as you aren’t waiting for all the designs to become unlocked. It is really helpful to have loads of sims doing the hobby, and have them doing the 10 minute option over and over if possible!
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE HAIRSTYLE!!
12 FASHION ITEMS= 1 HAIRSTYLE
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
Have more than one sim working on it
It is easier if you have all the sims in one house, maybe build a room for them so they are all together but you don’t have to!
If you can, do the 10 minute option over and over, you will find the most designs this way (once you have a sim at level 6)
Have at least one sim at level 6 or working on getting to level 6 (maybe do the 12 hour option) so all designs are unlocked (if you have previously completed the collection you do not need to get another sim to level 6 to complete this)
Remember to click start new collection on the fashion hobby collections list once you have got all the pieces
Most importantly: just keep going! I know it’s annoying when you get the same one constantly but you will eventually get the ones you need.
Hairstyles
Each time you complete the collection you will unlock one hairstyle in 4 different colours:
You cannot earn these hairstyles if you don’t complete in the time limit
The Embrace the Fro Hair Hobby Event will be back for a limited time from 1st February! To get all 32 hairstyles for female and male adult sims you need to complete the fashion designer hobby collection 8 times in the 7 day time limit. You get 1 hairstyle in 4 colours (4 for females and 4 for males) each time you complete the collection (find all 12 fashion pieces), once you unlock a hairstyle you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all. (if you completed this before you will not get this event again, if you didn’t finish it last time you will start from where you got to)

The game maximum level has increased from 55 to 60! But instead of just needing experience points (XP) to level up you have other requirements that need to be completed before you can level up such as adding sims, constructing buildings and completing quests:
The level up requirements will vary depending on how much you have already completed, if you have completed all quests, development sites (downtown developer, sim springs and super yacht) and community lots (e.g. campgrounds, castle or mall) the tasks will be to complete careers, hobbies and professions. If you are unsure what a task is asking you to do click the (i) symbol next to that requirement:
TIP: If a level up requirement doesn’t complete when it should try visiting a neighbour and returning home, it sometimes completes the task.
The green place marker button will either take you to a location or show you what quest you can complete next:
If you have already completed everything in the game you will only need XP to level up.

Complete this brand new live event (starts 1st Feb) to unlock romantic French themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the Arthouse Nouveau house template. This event is only here for 13 days and the aim of it is to collect enough arts and crafts items from the arts and crafts stations (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event.
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations?Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Potted Palms pack. When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Potted Palms pack (click on the event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SP, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SP or
Restock 9 uses which will take you 2 hours 30 minutes but will be free

if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock

22. Arthouse Nouveau- you can only claim this pack if you have purchased all the other packs in this live event
This template can be found under the driveway homes tab and built on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The only difference between the standard and premium residence is the premium has a garden with a pool, bar and seating areas:
I found it difficult to work out whether this is a house or a hotel, the reception desk on the ground floor and function room on the 5th floor makes this feel more like a hotel than a house:
The house template is the only prize in this final pack
Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.
Once the event is over it will convert your unused resources into simoleons, the conversion rate is half the amount of resources, for example, if you have 10,000 candles left over you will earn 5,000 simoleons, if you only have 1 of a resource left over you will only earn 1 simoleon. When a new live event becomes available you start from 0 resources
If I don’t complete this event this time will I have to start from the beginning when it returns? No, you will start from where you got to this time!
Yesterday a ‘what to expect from The Sims Mobile content releases‘ post was added to EA.com (read the post here)
If you are looking for good news about this game then you won’t find it at the above link, the second paragraph states: ‘Beginning on January 29, 2024, The Sims Mobile will no longer receive new events in our updates.’ Updates from the end of January will only include previous events but no new events will be added to the game.
What does this mean? Basically they have given up trying to improve this game and have just decided to put it into maintenance mode instead so the bare minimum needs to be done to keep the game running, it will still be online but nothing new will be added and it is likely that existing bugs will not be fixed.
It will probably be the case that it will eventually be closed so I would urge you not to spend anymore money on this game- it clearly hasn’t been the success EA were hoping for so spending money on it at this point would be pointless.
What do I think about this news?I am not surprised and have been expecting this for a while, there have been too many issues that have constantly been ignored.
Just to name a few:
The list of bugs not being fixed has become worse each update with some long term players unable to get into the game!
The lack of new features has been non existent- we got balconies and then nothing- we can’t even sell items to clear up storage space!
The communication from the team has been poor, the game has changed hands so many times it is hard to know who to go to for answers or whether suggestions passed on have been seen by the right people.
I had taken a break from making Sims Mobile content since early 2023, not just because I felt that more effort was being put into the expensive paid packs than actual game events and that was something I did not want to promote but also I just found the game had become stale. Back in 2o21 I made a post called ‘Is it too late to Save The Sims Mobile?‘ in which I said “I only make an update post for the game now, I got so bored of making Wumples posts and even the new events aren’t exciting enough to warrant their own posts.” but by 2023 it just became difficult to talk about a game at all that I was no longer enjoying.
However as much as I was expecting it I am disappointed they couldn’t sort it out. Back in 2017 when we first heard about this game there was excitement and so much hope but it has never been able to fulfil its potential. I don’t know if how the game was first developed that has lead to all these problems but what is certain, time is definitely up for The Sims Mobile.
Please remember this is about The Sims Mobile NOT The Sims Freeplay, they are two different games and Freeplay is still active!
